-- workouts are fun, intense, challenging, and works every part of the body. I feel so energized and light throughout the rest of the day after completing one. I've never felt an hour of working out go by so fast; 1 hour feels like 20 mins bc of how engaging the classes are in switching up different exercises. Thought it was super impressive that even the same type of class under the same instructor is different each time-- you will never get bored and always experience something new! Also fits all experience levels. -- instructors are super patient, welcoming, helpful, energetic, and kind (thank you Kelly, Courtney, Dana, Emily, and Renee!!). They tell you which muscle you're supposed to work and how, which makes the workout very effective. Gotta admit I was pretty embarrassed as a fitness newbie who isn't well-versed in basic forms, but they made me feel so comfortable and patiently guided me in how to correct my form-- each session I've been learning so much about how to best tone my muscles. They're also really inspiring and get me to push harder when I think I can't! I've faithfully done youtube videos by various fitness trainers over the past year, but attending xtend classes in-person is a whole other dimension; the youtube videos felt like a warm-up compared to the Xtend classes! -- all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. They are intentional about knowing your name and helping you out. -- the studio is beautiful, spacious, and clean. They take great measures in disinfecting the equipment after each class. All in all, coming here was one of the best decisions I've made and always the highlight of my day! Just what you need to start and end the day off right. Hope you can come and experience this too :) read more

I started going to Xtend Barre Arlington when it first opened a few times through ClassPass, and then started frequently going again a year ago. I fell in love with the studio, classes, and instructors and when January hit I cancelled my ClassPass to join their January challenge and did two months unlimited. After 2 months, I was hooked and becoming a VIX member was one of the easiest decisions I have made. This studio has such an amazing atmosphere and so many great classes to choose from that you are bound to find a class that fits your type of workout style. I have tried almost all of the classes, some which I had never tried before, but the instructors are always right there to guide you. Every class you take challenges you, makes you work hard, and is fun! Before you know it, you are on your mat stretching and class is over. Outside of the classes, the instructors are extremely friendly and always there to help when you need it, class related or personal. You feel welcomed the moment you step in to the studio. If you are unsure about anything during classes, they will stick around and help you make sure you are getting the most out of your workouts. This studio is like a little family, you meet people through the classes you take and the instructors once again are just so great. I would recommend anyone to this studio, my roommate has since become a VIX member, another friend of mine has just joined, and my mom and sister have attended classes too! I haven't found another studio that not only keeps me motivated and gives me a good workout, but has me just wanting to hang around the people as I have found in Xtend Barre Arlington. read more

I started attending Xtend about two weeks ago through their two week new client introduction offer. I'm not going to lie, I was fairly intimidated stepping into the studio for the first time as I had never taken a barre class before and I was the only new client in that class. Luckily, the staff at the front desk was extremely welcoming and gave me all the information I needed to know before beginning. They even followed up after the class was over to see how I felt about it. The class exceeded my expectations and gave me the best work out I had experienced in a long time! Although my entire body was sore the next day, I proceeded to sign up for as many classes as I could during those two weeks. My appreciation for this studio grew more and more with every class I took, and I am pleased to say that I am now a member! Aside from their classes, the studio is extremely clean and organized. The atmosphere makes it easy to to leave all outside worries at the door and allows me to focus on myself for an hour without any other distractions. I sincerely look forward to every class. read more

Xtend Barre Arlington is a dream! When you walk in you are greeted and made to feel comfortable right away, the desk staff and the owner, Kelly, make every effort to make you feel like family. They even sent a handwritten note to my home to thank me for my class pack purchase!! Now that is a personalized touch!! The studio is immaculate! As other reviewers have commented, it does have a spa like feel, so clean and soothing! Parking in this area of Arlington is pretty easy with street parking and park mobile available, so it makes getting your sweat on easy to access. The classes are killer, in the best way possible. You are sweating within the first five minutes and work absolutely every muscle in your body each class. The teachers are fantastic, very friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help. The class schedule is very accommodating, the 5:45pm class works so well for my schedule and there are two studios so I imagine even more great classes will start soon. I say Xtend Barre Arlington is not to be missed!!! read more

I never thought I would find a workout that I love as much as a Xtend Barre! After dancing for many years, I struggled to find a workout that was as effective and that I truly enjoyed. There are so many different classes to choose-- anything you could ever need from barre to yoga to TRX to dance classes (and more!). It truly is a one stop shop. All the classes I have taken so far are challenging, fun, and have a great mix of cardio and strength. The instructors are motivating, positive, and so knowledgeable. The studio is beautiful and clean. They also seem to have activities going on for clients to get involved in such as workout bingo, wreaths across America, or donating to families in need. I was hesitant to join at first because of the cost, however after only a week of taking classes, I believe it is worth every penny. You will walk out of every class with a smile, feeling stronger and more confident. Think of it as a commitment to your health and happiness :) read more

I first took the Suspend class with Irina and was only one of two guys in the class. The class uses the TRX technology and kicked my ass. I was sore for three days but in a good way. Irina corrected my form to make sure I was working the right muscles safely and upbeat music mix made the class go by quickly and made it a great cardio workout. The space/studio is super clean, highly styled and even had private showers so I could go out after class. Based on my first experience I took a staple Xtend class with Abbie who was a Wizard dancer and it was a completely different class that was still a great cardio and focused muscle workout that kicked my ass again. The music and vibe made working out fun which is why I purchased a monthly unlimited plan and look forward to getting back in shape! This is the first Yelp review I've ever posted because I felt I needed to share my guy experience about this place. Plus the owner and instructors are super cute. read more

The staff at Xtend Barre Arlington are fabulous and have created a wonderful place to workout with a really fun and uplifting atmosphere. I'm new to the area and it's really helped me to feel at home. The studio is a stylish, bright, clean and comfortable environment with great hygiene procedures. The classes are taught by highly trained and professional instructors, some of whom have a dance background. They make it their business to get to know their clients and they really pay attention to form. Each move can be done at beginner, intermediate or advanced levels. The classes seem to be attended by a nice friendly bunch, some advanced and some starting out but you don't need to be self conscious. I've attended Xtend Barre in London. I dropped a dress size 6 weeks just by going to the classes and I'm hoping that will happen again. Either way it's been 12 classes so far and I feel fitter, happier and healthier. What more could a woman want! read more

I took their 1st newly designed Dance class today. Wow!!! I have not sweat this much for a long time. Jen made working out so much fun! It had great pop music, lots of movements, incorporating hand-weights, etc. Best part: zero breaks!!! Who would think working out can be so much fun! If you usually do not like working out but enjoy having fun, I recommend you come try this class. The great pop music, high energy, and all the friendly, sweaty faces really make working out fun. I am coming back for more! Note: this is NOT those classes that instructors stop the class and teach you the choreography. This is a non-stop workout class with great pop/dance music, high energy, and wonderful companies. But, don't get intimidated. If you need breaks, just take your breaks. No one judges you (everyone is too busy sweating, working/dancing out). Maybe I will see you there next time I go there (which will be tomorrow :-)) read more

Absolutely wonderful! Where to start...the studio itself is gorgeous. It's modern and minimalist, giving you that zen, spa-like feeling when you first walk in. It also has showers that are clean and stocked with anything you might have left behind, which always seems to happen to me. Kelly, Xtend Barre Arlington's owner, welcomed me in for my first class with a smile and took the time to personally walk me through everything! The classes are hands-down some of the best I've ever taken. I've been going to this studio for three weeks now and have fallen head over heels for all of my instructors thus far - they are terrific. Each has their own style of teaching. The classes are varied, high-energy, and will leave you with that great feeling of just pushing yourself. After only two weeks, I knew it was a great fit, and I'm super excited to be a full member of the studio. Can't recommend Xtend Barre Arlington enough! read more

I have never been a member of a gym for this long or gone this much - this gym is the absolute best and it's one of my happy places! They have a great variety of classes, and offer them at convenient times. The classes are all really challenging, but they don't make up a bunch of silly moves that don't really do anything, which I feel a lot of studios do. The moves they have you do always work your ass off, but they still have lots of modifications. They are low pressure and won't call you out if you're modifying your moves, or even just taking a break, or even spacing out and doing your own thing. The instructors are all fantastic - positive, encouraging, friendly. It's not the type of place where you hear comments related to getting thinner (no "beach body" or "shorts season" type comments), which I really appreciate. I can't say enough great things! Give this place a try! read more

I cannot rave enough about this Xtend Barre! I moved to Arlington a few months ago and am so happy to have found such a friendly community. The owner Kelly does and excellent job of really making every person who walks in the door feel welcome. Each instructor has a slightly different style, and I'm happy to say I've been able to try every class offered. I never thought I would enjoy waking up at 5:30 in the morning to work out, but my daily barre class has really become something to look forward to. The studio is gorgeous, and I never feel like I am in a "gym" at all. The use of unique props during each workout insures that I am never bored and often challenged a great deal. The addition of cardio with the barre technique is something that really keeps me interested (and sweaty!) I give this studio 5/5 very well-deserved stars :) read more

I wouldn't say it's the worst, but I love going to barre classes, and out of Bar Method, Lava Barre, Pure Barre, Fly Barre, and Barre 3, this is honestly the least challenging workout. The little "cardio bursts" that they do are a joke and remind me of a step aerobics class. I also feel like I am going to a ballet studio here instead of a fitness studio... I wish that the place had a greater fitness focus. All other barre classes in the area make you do tons of push ups and hold planks for a long period of time, and that simply doesn't happy here. I want to leave sweaty and sore, and XTend Barre just sadly doesn't cut it for me. If you want to leave feeling tired and toned, go to Lava Barre down the street for the same price, same beautiful studio, but better workout. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I'm just so impressed with Xtend! It IS by far the best barre studio in town. The classes are great because it's a full body workout in under an hour...arms, abs, butt, legs, along with some cardio bursts. Definitely more of an "athletic" type of barre class (which I like) but still low impact and easy on the joints. I've also tried the Circuit and TRX classes and it's all been great. The instructors are top-notch, the music is great, and no two workouts are ever the same. The owner is very friendly and greets people at the door. It's just a really nice and encouraging environment for women of all ages. read more

As a newbie to the area, I am so glad I met Lara + Kelly form Xtend Barre. I love the sense of positivity and encouragement you feel immediately when you walk in. I have been a member since last year + loved going prior to the temporary closures of gyms. Their studio is spotless, smells amazing and offers a full range of classes from dance to barre, which I love. Renee's dance is always full + it does not feel like a workout! They've been extremely adaptable with the new times + now I am able to join their LIVE zoom workouts and feel just as committed. Highly recommend! read more

Xtend Barre is amazing! I have done 5 classes so far and I am so impressed with the quality of the workouts that I bought a membership. The instructors are wonderful and take the time during the quick moving class to improve your form to make sure you are getting the most out of each move as well as staying safe. They give modifications whether more basic or more advanced which I appreciate. I could not be more excited that I was introduced to Xtend Barre from a friend and can't wait to improve my strength and stamina! read more

Xtend Barre is by far one of the best workouts/studios I have ever been to. Each instructor is encouraging, knowledgeable, and eager to help and be a positive light. The studio is always spotless, with many lockers to store your belongings, two showers and restrooms that are stocked with all the essentials needed to leave feeling refreshed. And lets not forget their merchandise section! So beautifully displayed, and always adding the newest styles and trends. Absolutely love this place. read more

If you're looking for an intense, effective, and fun workout, Xtend barre is your place! The instructors are kind, helpful, upbeat, energetic, and just beautiful inside and out! They inspire me to push myself during the most brutal parts and teach me how to correct my form, which is super helpful. The facilities are super clean and well-managed amid the pandemic. Experiencing here yourself is worth a 1000 words ;). Please come try! read more

I have tried many classes and workout programs in the area and this happens to be one of my favorites! I really like the instructors and the facility - it's clean and the employees are very welcoming and always show a ton of energy. They have a diverse workout schedule that is suitable for different levels of training which I love as well. I have really enjoyed my time at Xtend Barre thus far and definitely recommend it for others! read more

I just completed two weeks of Xtend Barre, attending a variety of classes, and it's by far the best barre studio I've been to in Arlington! Great teachers, great music, and really interesting classes. The circuits and TRX are fantastic workouts. Instructors keep the routines fresh, so you get the hang of the different exercises but never feel bored from class to class. Highly recommend! read more
